I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Amber was naturally formed in ancient times, and if it happened to contain an insect or plant, its value would be even higher. However, people later learned to make amber themselves, making artificial amber cheaper. But a box sealed with amber doesn't look like an ordinary thing, so Heath thinks that it's very likely to contain what he needs—the Everlasting Fruit. If that's the case, then the city achievement quest that has been troubling him for so long in Evergreen City can finally be put to rest.

Although Heath was certain that it contained something, she couldn't be sure until she opened it, so she could only watch helplessly from the side. Cynthia, on the other hand, knew what Heath was thinking, so she picked up the amber and carefully examined what was inside to determine its age and see if she could find any clues.

“It’s not an antique. The manufacturer’s name is on this iron box. I looked it up and it’s been around for over fifty years. So, shall we trouble Charizard?” Cynthia shook her head. It wasn’t an antique. If it were, Cynthia would have taken it to the lab to be processed. But there was no need for that now. Cynthia quickly had Charizard come over and melt the amber on the outside. After that, the iron box was completely exposed.

"Heath, I'm actually quite curious, what exactly are you looking for?" Cynthia couldn't help but ask. She really didn't know what Heath was looking for, since Heath had told her that he had found a treasure map and that's why he came here to search for treasure.

“A fruit.” Heath slowly opened the iron box in front of him. As the box opened, a fruit that looked like a hybrid of a mango and an apple appeared before Heath. Heath was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. This thing contained a fruit? If it was a fruit, it meant that he might really have found the Everlasting Fruit!

Heath quickly took out the food identification device and checked it.

The Fruit of Everlasting Life is a non-toxic and edible ingredient, a legendary food that is now rarely seen. Consuming it grants the user the power of Everlasting Life, making it a very magical and precious food. Any cooking method is a waste; washing it clean and eating it directly is the best way to eat it.

Heath held the fruit in his hands with delight. This was the Everlasting Fruit? It could grant the user the power of Everlasting, which was indeed extraordinary. At least, that's what Heath thought. It was the power of Everlasting, something even rarer than Aura, and even rarer than superpowers. The only person Heath knew of who possessed the power of Everlasting was Boss Giovanni.

But this thing can't be cooked? This is a bit of a problem for Heath. Usually, for city achievement quests, Heath needs to cook something and serve it to the guests to complete the quest. But this one doesn't require that? Does that mean he can just find any guest to feed it to?

But wouldn't that be too wasteful? It's like something out of an old novel where the protagonist encounters an old man who insists on giving him a great opportunity, and he can't refuse. The Everlasting Fruit is an incredible opportunity for anyone.

"Heath, what kind of fruit is this?" Cynthia was very curious. She knew about archaeology, but she really didn't know anything about this. She wasn't a botanist, so naturally she didn't know what it was. Heath did know, but she didn't know how to describe it. Should she say that this thing was the Everlasting Fruit? That eating it could give one the power of Everlasting?

However, looking at Cynthia, Hiss had some thoughts. Giving this fruit to an outsider was less desirable than giving it to his girlfriend. Although Hiss had considered giving it to Ash, compared to Cynthia…

Heath could only silently apologize to Ash.

Chapter 933 A series of tasks completed

However, Hiss quickly calmed down. Ash didn't have a Viridian Fruit after all; he really didn't. The entire text never mentioned that Ash had the power of Viridian, which proved that this thing really had nothing to do with Ash. Giving Cynthia a Viridian Fruit wasn't a big deal. Anyway, Ash would have his own opportunities in the future. Thinking of this, Hiss calmed down a lot. So he smiled and handed the fruit to Cynthia. Cynthia was still a little confused, and Hiss even asked her for a hundred League Coins before handing her the fruit.

"Eat up, guest," Heath said with a smile, the mission finally about to be completed.

Cynthia looked at Heath strangely, but she wasn't too surprised that her boyfriend would do such odd things from time to time. However, Farfetch'd's gaze made her a little uncomfortable, because Farfetch'd was looking at her with a curious look. Heath knew why Farfetch'd was looking at Cynthia like that; he was definitely curious about the ingredients in Cynthia's hands.

Heath has now trained Farfetch'd into a qualified chef. Once Farfetch'd has completed his chef duties, Heath can try letting Farfetch open a restaurant. This might be a good option, since Farfetch's cooking skills are quite good now. It's just unknown whether Farfetch himself is interested in becoming a head chef.

As for Hiss himself, he had no regrets. After all, he wasn't particularly interested in the Power of Everlasting. It would be best if he could get it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. Hiss didn't care; the Power of Everlasting wasn't anything special, and he didn't really need it. But for Cynthia, having the Power of Everlasting would allow her to reach a higher level. Hiss was very curious about what path Cynthia, who was already very strong, would take after obtaining the Power of Everlasting, and how strong she would become.

Heath was very curious.

"This is... a Viridian Fruit? Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Cynthia had learned about the fruit's purpose from Hiss, so she still found it hard to believe. She didn't know what Viridian Power was, but she had searched online and found that the League had recorded it as a very special power. For a Champion-level Trainer like Cynthia, Viridian Power was more than just an added bonus. With Viridian Power, Cynthia felt she could definitely become an even stronger Trainer.

"Well, I'm a chef, so I don't have a huge need for this. Besides, you're my girlfriend." Heath said with a smile. He meant it sincerely. Moreover, completing the city achievement mission of Evergreen City meant that he needed to serve the Evergreen Fruit to the guests, so Heath himself didn't have any pursuit of Evergreen Power.

Hearing Hiss say that, Cynthia picked up the Viridian Fruit and ate it in small bites. It tasted very good, sweet with a hint of mango. It was delicious, and Cynthia finished it before she knew it.

You treated Cynthia to the Viridian Fruit, and in return, you gained Champion-level battle experience and skills.

[You have completed the city achievement mission in Evergreen City and have received a special reward: one use of the Primal Sea trait]

[You've completed the hidden achievement: The Great Treasure? I bet you don't care.]

[A great treasure? I don't care: I can give away any treasure that reaches the level of a rare gem without feeling any reluctance.]

[You have received a special reward: One use of the Flame of Life]

[Flame of Life: When used, it can revive any recently deceased person, restoring them to their optimal condition, extending their lifespan, and eliminating all diseases.]

A barrage of prompts rained down on Heath's face.

Heath couldn't help but rub his nose. Although these notification boxes didn't have any physical form, it was still a little uncomfortable to have them pop up on his nose. Heath was more used to the notifications that appeared one by one.

"These rewards are a lot... but what are those battle experience and battle skills stuff?" Hiss was getting frustrated with the process. This time the rewards were quite plentiful. First of all, there was champion-level battle experience. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably just to give him battle experience similar to Cynthia's. However, this stuff was useless to Hiss. He didn't really need to fight. But it was better than nothing.

The city's achievement quests were a bit confusing to Hiss. He knew about the Origin Sea, the Primal Reversion Kyogre's ability that prevented rain from stopping unless it was an Origin Sea ability. But what did it mean that this ability could only be used once?

Heath still wasn't quite sure what to do, but he felt that this thing probably needed to be handled with care, in case something went wrong.

The last reward is the simplest and most straightforward, but it's also the one that Heath finds most perplexing: resurrecting someone? Even if it's someone who has just died, it's still incredibly powerful. If Heath were to declare that he possesses this ability, he could place himself at the center of a storm, with countless people, whether it's Officer Jenny, Joey, the Black Organization, or even the League, all vying for his attention.

"We need to be careful with this." Heath shook his head. This thing needs to be used very carefully, and no one else should know about it, otherwise it could easily cause trouble.

Heath glanced at Cynthia, who had already finished eating. However, Cynthia's eyes were lifeless, as if she were in a daze. Heath waved her hand, but Cynthia did not react. This made Heath a little curious. Could it be that eating the Viridian Fruit had such a side effect?

"Cynthia?" Hiss called out again, and Cynthia finally came to her senses. She looked at Hiss blankly, feeling strange about herself and the world around her. She even had a strange connection with Garchomp, as if she could heal Garchomp's wounds simply by reaching out her hand.

"Ah... I'm fine, Heath, it's just that this ability feels a little... strange to me." Cynthia looked down at her hands. As one of the three special abilities registered by the League, the power of the Viridian was quite effective. However, Cynthia had never experienced it before, so she was naturally a little unaccustomed to it. She would be fine once she got used to it.

Heath was a little anxious when she heard this, and quickly asked around. She was relieved to find out that Cynthia was indeed alright.

Chapter 934 The Wind Disrupted Heath's Heart

The mission is mostly complete, but Heath still has one problem to solve: the city achievement missions in the Kanto region. Heath realized that he hasn't completed the city achievement missions in several areas: Cinnabar Town, Celadon City, and Fuchsia City. Heath's next destination is Cinnabar Town, because it's a small place with a relatively small area, and the city achievement missions there shouldn't be too difficult. So, Heath plans to quickly complete his mission there before moving on to the other two areas. Once the other areas are completed, Heath will be able to successfully complete all the missions in the Kanto region.

Heath was curious about what the rewards would be. If the rewards for one city were so good, then the other rewards shouldn't be too bad either, right?

Heath was very much looking forward to it. To be honest, of all the rewards he had received, the most terrifying and practical in his opinion was the Flame of Life. To bring a dead person back to life, what incredible power that was! No wonder Ho-Oh was also hailed as a powerful being among the legendary Pokémon. For these legendary Pokémon, it was only natural for them to possess such power. However, Ho-Oh and the others were very cautious in using their abilities.

"Heath, are we going back now?" Cynthia had already gotten used to her new ability. It has to be said that the Power of Everlasting is indeed worthy of being called one of the three great magical abilities. On one hand, it allows her to communicate with her Pokémon, and on the other hand, it also has healing abilities. However, these are not the main points. The most unique thing is that it can also temporarily strengthen her Pokémon. It can be said that Cynthia's strength has improved a lot.

For a champion, even the slightest improvement is extremely rare, let alone such a significant improvement this time. Cynthia even felt that if she continued to develop her Everlasting Power ability, her future self could defeat her current self.

"Hmm, this should be the One Piece." Heath nodded. Having found the Everlasting Fruit, his mission was complete. Heath planned to return to the Kanto region, complete his city achievements in Cinnabar Town, and then wait for Farfetch'd's cooking competition. Speaking of which, the first episode would be available tomorrow. Heath was quite curious about how Farfetch'd's appearance would affect the audience.

"This really is a One Piece." Cynthia nodded as she thought of the wonders of the Viridian Fruit. She now thought so too. The Viridian Fruit was indeed a One Piece. Having such a magical fruit was something that would drive countless people crazy. It could even be said that the price of such a fruit could be astronomical. Even the League couldn't remain indifferent, after all, the effects of this thing were really powerful.

While it might not have much of an effect on ordinary people, what about a champion? A champion whose strength is enhanced is simply a great joy.

Thinking of this, Cynthia glanced at Heath. Heath's expression was very calm. When he gave her fruit, his expression was as if he had casually offered her an apple. What magnanimity! She knew she was just his girlfriend, and she hadn't actually given herself to him, yet he did this. Could it be…?

Cynthia was momentarily stunned. She thought of a possibility, a strange possibility: could her boyfriend be planning to propose to her through the Fruit of Everlasting Life? It didn't seem impossible.

Heath was unaware that his girlfriend's thoughts were drifting off into the sky. He was currently following Cynthia toward Gengar's location. This trip to Petalburg Woods had been much simpler, taking only a day. However, it was getting dark, and Heath planned to visit Gengar's mansion. On one hand, he wanted to thank Gengar, as the information Gengar had given him hadn't been particularly helpful—the box was irrefutable evidence. On the other hand, Heath wanted to maintain their relationship.

Although Gengar is just a Pokémon, this guy is already smarter than a human. In fact, you could say that most people might not be as smart as Gengar. It's necessary to get along well with such a smart Totem Pokémon. However, the main reason is that Heath had previously researched and found that although there is no Petalburg Power in Petalburg City, there is a very special fruit in Petalburg Forest that tastes extremely good and is a rare delicacy. Eating it also has the magical effect of repairing physical injuries and hidden wounds.

However, because its effects were so powerful, it was stolen in large quantities, and now it's almost impossible to find. If Heath can get some help from Gengar, he thinks he might be able to get some help from it. Who knows, maybe he'll come to the Hoenn region to cook some dishes in the future? That's not impossible, so getting on good terms with it is definitely worth it. If he can get that kind of fruit, it would be a huge win.

"Heath." Cynthia couldn't hold back any longer. She wanted to ask him. She was usually a very patient person, but marriage was such a serious matter that even Cynthia herself was flustered. If she didn't get an answer, she really wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Hiss asked casually. Since there was nothing else going on, Hiss didn't think Cynthia would have any major problems. At most, she'd just talk about the Power of Eternity, but Hiss really didn't care about it. The Power of Eternity, wasn't it? What was so special about it? Did it have some kind of cheat-like advantage?

Heath didn't believe it. His cheat ability could even resurrect the dead, so Heath really had no interest in these rare treasures. Heath even thought that if he were to cultivate immortality, he could definitely become a good immortal cultivator.

Therefore, Heath himself doesn't care about the power of the Everlasting Rock. Even if it were a super invincible fruit that combines the power of the Everlasting Rock, the power of the Aura, and the power of the psychic, Heath would give it to Cynthia without hesitation. He really has no interest in these things.

“Um…you…” Cynthia’s voice was very soft. At this moment, a wind was blowing through the Petalburg Woods. The wind howled, disrupting Cynthia’s consciousness and his heart.

What did he hear?

Chapter 935 Gengar's Request

Hiss stood there in the forest, stunned. He really hadn't expected Cynthia to ask him that. He was completely bewildered. How had things gotten to this point? Hadn't he given away a Viridian Fruit? Why had it suddenly turned into a marriage proposal? But then Hiss suddenly remembered something: the value of the Viridian Fruit.

You have to understand, the Everlasting Fruit hasn't appeared for a very long time, so long that people thought it was just a hoax. To find it now is practically like someone in my past life suddenly offering to give me a dozen courtyard houses in Beijing—it's absurd! And now, I'm casually giving away these things that could have brought me immense wealth to my girlfriend, and then putting her name on them. It's just...

While it may sound a bit far-fetched, the Viridian Fruit truly does possess such value. This thing is now extinct; you have to know that the power of Viridian can only be obtained by those born near the Viridian Forest, and not everyone has the chance to obtain it. Just as no one can choose who their parents are, the Viridian Fruit gives those people a choice, an opportunity for them to choose their parents.

However, this was just a metaphor, but Hiss himself felt it was quite appropriate. The Viridian Fruit was definitely a rare and precious treasure, so it was not surprising that he gave it to Cynthia.

"I've always been with marriage in mind when I'm with you," Heath said seriously. He really wasn't joking. He had been dating Cynthia with marriage in mind. After all, he was a relatively old-fashioned person. Dating without the intention of marriage was meaningless; it was just like being a scoundrel. However, this idea of ​​his wasn't very popular in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so long looking for a partner, which was quite tragic.

"Hmm..." Cynthia blushed even more. She covered her face shyly and looked at her boyfriend timidly. She naturally liked her boyfriend, but even though Cynthia was usually straightforward, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and shy when the topic of marriage came up.

“Heath, you might need to come back with me to meet my grandma…” Cynthia said softly, biting her lower lip. Heath nodded immediately. Although meeting the parents made him a little nervous, Heath didn't think it was a big problem. Meeting the parents was inevitable, and it was better to do it sooner rather than later. Heath was very curious about Cynthia's grandma. He remembered that Cynthia's grandma was a very accomplished Pokémon professor and an archaeologist. But who were Cynthia's parents?

Heath was a little curious. He didn't quite remember this, after all, he really didn't know who Cynthia's parents were. It seemed that the anime and games didn't mention it much either. It has to be said that the Pokémon world, especially the early worlds, had some issues with the character development. At the very least, the parents seemed to have disappeared, much like the protagonists in some novels who would join an orphanage all the time.

However, thinking of this, Heath's face darkened. He had also transmigrated and was from an orphanage, so he was practically a member of a large family in the orphanage. But then Heath breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he shouldn't be that unlucky. After all, he had Sister Feng and Sister Ling. He was also a member of the Officer Jenny family and a member recognized by the family. He wasn't someone without any foundation.

Cynthia was much more relaxed at this moment, so Hiss quickened his pace and soon returned to Gengar's mansion. Gengar warmly welcomed Hiss and Cynthia, and Hiss gained some new insights into this burly Gengar. However, the most significant gain this time was that Hiss was granted permission to go up to the second floor, albeit with Gengar's accompaniment. Cynthia herself had never received this treatment before, so Hiss was quite fortunate to be treated this way.

The second floor didn't seem much different. There was a short corridor, a clean and tidy carpet, and the surrounding rooms were all closed. There were some paintings hanging on the walls. Heath saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes inside, and then he saw a Gengar standing behind her. However, the Gengar was different from the one next to him. The size was different. The Gengar looked small, while this Gengar looked very big.

"Who is this?" However, Heath still felt the two Gengars looked somewhat alike. The Gengar beside him had similar features to the other one. Heath was curious; Gengars were very attached to this home, could it be...?

"This is my trainer, but he has passed away." Gengar admitted it very directly. Hiss was stunned for a moment. Goodness, he admitted it so quickly? Hiss had been thinking that he might feel embarrassed if he guessed wrong, but he didn't expect him to admit it so directly. This surprised Hiss.

"...Heath, right? I have a favor to ask you." Gengar continued. Heath didn't say anything after hearing this. He knew he should only agree to help others if he was capable. Why pretend if he couldn't do it? He should just admit it. So Heath decided to listen to what Gengar had to say. If the request wasn't too troublesome, Heath wouldn't refuse.

"I'd like to ask you to write down the recipe for the pasta you made for me before, but the kind that's a bit mushy." Gengar said earnestly to Hiss. It had brought Hiss upstairs specifically for this reason. Why the recipe? Because it was the most delicious thing it had ever eaten, and the taste it missed the most even now. Although Hiss's version tasted even better, it wasn't the first time its trainer had tried making pasta, and its trainer hadn't made it since. Gengar had always regretted it.

"A little burnt? No problem." Heath was taken aback. What did "a little burnt" mean? Don't normal people prefer food that isn't burnt? Burnt food generally doesn't taste very good. However, considering that it was Gengar's request, Heath agreed. Anyway, it was just a small favor for him, not a problem at all.

Chapter 936 Senri, Gym Leader of Petalburg City

After giving Gengar the recipe, Seath and Cynthia left. However, because their trip to Petalburg Woods was too short—Seath had finished everything in just a few days—his food truck teleportation ability was still on cooldown. This was a bit of a shame for Seath. He now faced a few choices: either stay in Petalburg City and run his food truck for a while while waiting for the teleportation cooldown to finish, or drive his food truck to a boat and return to the Kanto region, which would also take him directly to Cinnabar Town.

However, after checking the distance and time it would take to travel from Petalburg City to Crimson Lotus, Heath felt that it would be better to just wait for a while. After all, the time it would take to get back to Crimson Lotus from Petalburg City would be enough for him to wait for his teleportation ability to be restored. And frankly, taking a boat would be quite tedious. At least that's what Heath thought. Rather than taking a boat, Heath would rather just wait for the teleportation cooldown to be restored.

Heath was seasick. Although he didn't really want to admit it, he was indeed seasick. The bigger the waves, the more seasick he became. There was nothing he could do about it. That dizzy feeling was unpleasant, and Heath himself couldn't stand it. So he simply chose to stay in Orange City and wait for the temperature to drop.

So Hiss simply drove his food truck to Petalburg City. However, Cynthia also had to go back. After all, she was the champion of the Sinnoh region, and it was already quite good that she could take a few days off. If she continued to stay outside, the Sinnoh League would probably go crazy. Although Hiss really wanted to continue developing his relationship with Cynthia, since he felt that he could take things a step further with her, there was nothing he could do. Hiss also knew that Cynthia was not just herself; she had a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders. So Hiss could only helplessly send Cynthia off.

Before leaving, Cynthia kissed Hiss and told him about her plan to go back to see her grandmother and find an opportunity to take Hiss to the Sinnoh region to meet her parents. Hiss was very much looking forward to it, but also a little nervous. After meeting Cynthia's grandmother, would his wedding with Cynthia be just around the corner?

"Also alone." Hiss stretched and then glanced over. Zoroark was playing chess with Kirlia, a hobby he inherited from Cynthia's Pokémon. Hiss himself was terrible at chess, so he didn't bother to join in. However, chess and Go have become strange with the development of AI. It's a fact that even a veteran champion player might lose to an AI.

Heath planned to set up a stall in Petalburg City for a few days. There were still five days until the cooldown of his next teleportation. After five days, Heath could return to the Kanto region. However, Heath would have to live in this place for these five days, so he still needed to go to Officer Jenny's in Petalburg City to apply for a stall permit and other documents. However, Heath was quite experienced in handling these documents, so he calmly followed the map to the Officer Jenny's building.

"...The Officer Jenny's building here is quite interesting. Is the Petalburg City Gym right next to it? Speaking of which, I remember the Petalburg City Gym Leader is Senri, who is also the father of the protagonist of the third generation of Pokémon games, Ruby and Sapphire..." Heath seemed thoughtful. Compared to Ash, whose parents rarely appear, the protagonist of the third generation is much better off. His father is a Gym Leader, and his mother also has some role. It can only be said that the later Pokémon games and anime paid more attention to these issues.

Although Heath was curious as to why Officer Jenny was located near the gym, he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he went to the office inside the building to handle his business. To Heath's surprise, he was recognized. Officer Jenny knew him, so his processing was very quick, and he even got a good location—right next to the Petalburg City gym, a prime spot. The only problem was…

"Mimasaka, does that mean I need to provide food to the regular dojos if I set up a stall here?" Heath asked curiously, looking at Officer Mimasaka in front of her. Officer Mimasaka nodded with a smile, but seemed worried that Heath didn't know the benefits of setting up a stall next to a dojo, so she said a few more words to Heath.

“Heath, don’t think I’m making things difficult for you. You know, that location is prime real estate in Petalburg City. Countless people want to apply for it every month. If this spot hadn’t just become available, even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn’t have been able to.” Officer Jenny said with a smile. Heath wasn’t really being presumptuous or had any misunderstandings. He knew how good the location near the gym was back in Viridian City.

The only thing that Heath was curious about was the provision of meals, especially since they were provided free of charge. Fortunately, the quantity was not large, with only seven boxed meals provided per meal. Otherwise, if an entire dojo needed to provide meals, Heath would have really wondered if he had offended Officer Jenny somewhere.

"I know, thank you, Mimasaka." Heath was still very curious. The Petalburg City Gym Leader, Senri, was a Normal-type Gym Leader, and her strength was quite formidable. She used Slaking with unparalleled skill. You have to know that it was Slaking. Most trainers really couldn't train that kind of Pokémon. It would slack off every turn it took to act. If it weren't for its powerful base stats, Heath felt that Slaking would have a problem surviving.

However, it's also possible that his extreme laziness is the reason he possesses such a powerful physique. You should know that a typical pseudo-legendary Pokémon only has around 600 base stats, but what about Slaking? Slaking's base stats are as high as 670, which is almost the same as a typical legendary Pokémon. This shows just how strong Slaking's body is.

However, Slaking is so unique that even Hiss himself has never considered training such a unique Pokémon. And in the entire Hoenn region, it seems that only the Normal-type Gym Leader, Senri, uses Slaking as a Pokémon in battles.

Heath didn't meet with Officer Jenny of Orange City, but he didn't mind. He wasn't a senior member of the Officer Jenny family and didn't need to meet with leaders everywhere he went. He was only staying in Orange City for five days.

"However, opening a business now would be quite simple for me." Chen Ye glanced at the Orange Blossom Dojo next door. He planned to go and learn more about it before starting business.
